Classic Fruit Cobbler
A comforting, sweet dessert with a biscuit-like topping and a warm, fruity filling!
Ingredients
For the Fruit Filling:
- 6 cups mixed fruit (such as peaches, berries, or apples)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon optional
For the Biscuit Topping:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ¾ cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or similar-sized pan.
- Prepare the fruit filling: In a large bowl, combine mixed fruit, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Toss until evenly mixed. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the biscuit topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in buttermilk (or regular milk) until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Assemble the cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the fruit filling, leaving some gaps between the spoonfuls.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving.
